Plant seeds are embedded into wheel-thrown urns. The wheel’s recurring circular motion scatters the seeds in the walls of the pottery, concluding in a series of unique urns. The urn’s simple and familiar shape undergoes a functional transformation – from an object designed to contain water, to one that will dissolve into mud if water is poured into it. This intermediate state of the clay, between wet and dry, is the ideal condition for the material to return to its original purpose – fertile soil ideal for seed germination and growth.
